sanity000It also looks like they have 3 new options so you can pick what cable type you want. 3.5, 4.4 balanced, and XLR balance. As well as the international version. Does anyone know what exactly the international version is? Because at first I assumed it was the double magnet version but with international shipping included but they don't have that version with the different connector options. Edit that's what the international version is but they don't allow you to select the connector.

PCgaming4everYeah I saw that but you can only choose one...I went the "safe" way and chose the double mag international...not sure what cable will be included with it though

AdultHumanNo idea...but I think you should be able to use cables for the hifiman 3.5mm on Amazon

AdultHumanI'm sure you can I saw a few cables on their ToaBao store no 3.5 but the had an XLR one that was similar and the same quality as the one it comes with but it was a 1/4 the cost of the headphones. https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a312a.7700824.w5003-22751659612.7.1e5a3ab4utNb0Y&id=611859066427&scene=taobao_shop Not really surprising considering how nice of a cable it comes with from the factory but your better off buying a HifiMan cable from Amazon on something.

sanity000Quick update: chatted with the seller via the chinese chat app that is on the Taobao site to download and install....they don't have the headphones in stock but will have them by Jan 27th...maybe the 25th at the earliest. The seller asked what connection I wanted for the cable to connect to amp so it looks like you can ask for the cable that you want.

sanity000Got my adapter today I don't have words for these headphones. I have never in my life heard something so amazing. The soundstage is like I'm in a concert hall listening while the details on them make it seem like I'm also simultaneously standing right in the middle of everything and can hear every single detail and where exactly it's coming from. I've never experienced anything like it before in a pair of headphones. For reference I have a pair of dt 770, hd 58x, akg K601, drop Panda, and I've had extensive listening time to hd 6xx headphones. They are blowing my mind right now final impressions after burn in but o my goodness! It's like when you find your favorite song and just zone out except that's every single song played through these headphones. The only thing is they are obviously open back but they have serious sound leakage almost as if there is a speaker on both the inside and outside. Which can be an issue if your trying to listen to headphones to keep from disturbing people around you.

PCgaming4everWow! What amp/dac are you using? Have tried gaming with them? I've heard they're also great for gaming...

sanity000Currently using a Shanling M6. It drives them pretty well on high gain out of the balanced port. Although I can tell they will take well to more power. I would use my desktop amp but I have an L30 and it got recalled for shorting out headphones so I'm waiting on my schiit Magnius/Modius to arrive. I have not tried gaming with them but with the soundstage and details it has I'm sure they will be great for gaming and pinpointing sounds.

sanity000Their imaging is next to none, they are fantastic for gaming and accuracy in competitive gaming. Soundstage as PCgaming said is also very good.

Muscle_CowHow are yours now that you've given it more than enough burn in time? Big improvements from when you first got it and listened to them?

sanity000I actually asked them to replace the 4.4 mm to an XLR connector (yongsheng) for like $7 extra. I wished I remembered to ask for neutrik connectors, but yongsheng works I guess.

DjangomeisterReally? They didn't charge me to change out the cable with an XLR connector.

DjangomeisterI'm assuming you've been listening to your headphones for a while then? What do you think of them?

sanity000I’ve had it since like early to mid January. I like how low these hits and how much soundstage it has. The only gripe I have is the headphone sounds pretty bright at times. It’s a completely different experience compared to the 6xx and k7xx. I personally think these headphones makes for an amazing movie experience.
